Autism Speaks Med Guide; I grade AS  C!

*****Link below is the link to Autism Speaks Medication Guide -----Which I give a C in my books. 

Page on autismspeaks.org

First, let's start with the name, "Autism and Medication: Safe and Careful use."  The guide gets away from "Medication Use," and into when medication should be used.  This is a parent decision. It may belong in a PDF Titled, "Medication to use or not to use!"  The decicion to use has nothing to do with a PDF titled "Safe and Careful use."

Second, after the decision to use medication has been made; it is not Autism Speaks duty to caution once again that medication should be a last ditch effort.  I agree medication are for me the last choice but have used them at a time in my son's life when it was appropriate.  That is more of a decision left between doctor and parent.  I do not want to imply that because I think usually medication in autism should be considere last; that a parent that chooses otherwise is wrong. Autism speaks should not imply this either.  

Third, the list of medications is not exaustive enough.  I will list Low Dose Naltrexeone Therapy. Here are two things you can read about it.  I am not advocating it or saying not to choose it.  I simply present it here as one choice that is unlisted in the PDF of Autism Speaks.

*****Page on lowdosenaltrexone.org

*****Low Dose Naltrexone for Autism

Fourth, there is no interview with a pharmacist as a specialist.  Why is this?  It says talk to your doctor or nurse.  Check with pharmacist for more information.  Why not talk to one when putting together this information?

Fifth,  Autism Speaks talks about teaching the child to swallow and how to reward the child/kid for doing so.  What is wrong with them?  Have they never heard of sensory issues?  Some places change the flavors for these reasons.   When is it better to ask for a chewable tablet that can be put in a specific medium?  Ever heard of plugging a capsule?  It would mask the taste and make it easer to swallow.

I wish I had time to go into all the reasons and what "plugging a capsule," is.   My point is this PDF as a tool kit is biased.  Doesn't take into consideration autistics personal sensory issues and more. It is lacking in basic autism reasoning.  Futhermore, there needs to be more information on various drugs covered.

This information is not intended to be about replacing or telling you what to do.  As with all medical decesions, check with your providers before doing anything. I am not responsible for your lack of research in treating your son/daughter.  I only wish to inform you if you use this tool it is one sided and you need more information.

You are not a bad person if you choose drugs before other therapies. You do not have to agree with Autism Speaks or me personally.  Your child may have servere behavior that drugs can mediate that would be life saving.  Do not feel put down when you have been advised of a choice by a provider that is qualified and choose a different path.  Not every one knows your story.

I plan to go into detail in my book about sensory issues and the world of pharmacy.  Also, I want to cover more drugs and possible uses in pharmacy. I will give you this.  I read recently that many drugs are used in the pediatric population off label. Why?  This make sense.  Few drugs are tested for the pediatric population. Drug use is a risk anytime.  I would say just be informed not scared.  

If another mother/father looks at you in horror because you didn't do all the Autism Speaks PDF told you to do, then look at them and say,"Thank you we can read too!" 

Autism Speaks, next time consider getting with a pharmacist when writing a medication guide.  Do not make it look like ever parent must look at medication is a last resort.  Some behaviors such as head banging warrent drugs before behavior intervention or right alongside it.  

INformation is what parents need not a how to must path on when meds are okay to use.

Immigration -03

Immigration -03

A lot has happened since my original posts

Here is the link to the 2nd post

Immigration -02

Which has a link to the 1st post.

 

Since then I have discovered there is buried in the 844 pages a National Biometric Database.

I emailed several……….

 

              WE DO NOT NEED TO TRACK CITIZENS

              WE NEED TO TRACK ILLEGALS!

I also responded to a “Rubio Victory” beg-for-$$$

NOT ONE RED CENT!

         Here is part of my reply

 = = = = = =

Sen Rubio,

You are not right.

You are wrong.

You will NOT get one red cent, not even a BINGO token so long as you are pushing Amnesty.

How unfortunate that you lost your way into the Gang of 8

Not terribly different from other unfortunate kids who get lost in street gangs.

 

WE DO NOT NEED…………

WE DO NOT WANT….

ANYMORE “GIVE AWAY AMERICA” LAWS.

 

NOT ONE RED CENT

 = = = =  = = = = =

A friend also shared his thoughts to Rubio directly

  1. 1.       Get OUT of the Gang of 8
  2. A group that has lost it’s way. with CONFUSED Strategies
  • $17 Trillion in Debt
  • President who wants to be Fidel Castro
  • NO longer safe from Terrorist Attacks
  • The Elite Ruling Class “President” didn’t/won’t defend an American Ambassador
  • 23 million people unemployed/underemployed
  • Free Food stamps and Cell phones for  MILLIONS of Votes
  • Ignored warnings about Boston Marathon Bombers
  1. Create MORE Unemployment
  2. Spend  $6.3 TRILLION MORE of Taxpayer $$$$
  3. A link to an LA Times Article that SPELLS it OUT
  • I wish I had the link, but I don’t
  • So……..here is the “blood and Guts”

 =========

This is absolutely unsustainable thus it is the making of a perfect storm.

 

Just One State , this is only one State...............
If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will !

 See Photo of California below …

>From the L. A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most-wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L. A. Are Spanish speaking.

10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 4.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County .)

(All 10 of the above statements are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 would be even better.

 

And you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!

 

 

  1. Can you BELIEVE IT?
  • It is hard, but …………………………….
  1. 7.       RUBIO…. GET OUT!   YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY
  • Like so many STREET GANG kids in S Miami
  1. 8.       RUBIO …. Your Parents would CRY if they knew!...
  2. 9.       STOP IT
  3. 10.   GET OUT……………..NOW

Posted by Jason Christian Aycock on April 21, 2013 at 5:46pm

   Hello, I am new here and very glad to be a part of a true patriotic movement. I am an avid reader of conservative authors and have recently read Righteous Indignation by Andrew Breitbart the book changed my life. I share a similar background and life story close to his. I live in a small town in Ga. and I want to get involved and and start making a difference. I have had my own personal life challenges and have lived under the tide of pop culture and jaded media. Any help on how to get involved and get out there would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Why don't Conservatives Articulate that: "Obama wants to Collapse Economy"! Why?

Posted by Alex Abrams on April 21, 2011 at 8:33pm

Why do Conservatives not articulate that "Obama Wants to Collapse the Economy"? Why will no one articulate what will happens if the economy collapses? As we approach the collapse of the economy, no one and I mean no one articulates what wil happen to every day Americans not if, but "when" the economy collapses. If the economy collapses and every indiactor says itr will for sure. There is no doubt about it. It is coming at us like a freight train. When the economy collapses, the bank will all of a sudden have no money. Banks will close. Business and Companies therefore will not be able to not only operate their business but will not be able to pay employees. Stores will close. No groceries. Electric utilites shut down, Cell Phones won't work. No electric. No Water. No sewage. Everything "Locks Up". It is assumed there will be riots. People will be fighting one another for basic commodities. Obama wants to collapse the economy so he and George Soros can wipe out the constitution. Trade in different currency. This wil bring heartache, pain, and misery like America has nevr seen before.
Obama and Dems are now, as I type this, trying to spend as much as they can so the economy will melt down so Americans will be begging Obama and Soros to rescue them. this is what they want. Please discuss this. Please pass this on in your own words.
This has to get out.
Respectfully,
Alex Abrams, Orlando

Schiff (D-CA29) Vandals Escalate - Deface Democrat's Property

Posted by Ron Robinson on June 22, 2010 at 5:41pm
Click on the image to see the extent of this vandalism in all it's gooey glory. Of course, when you are a registered Democrat who puts a Republican's yard sign in your yard, it elevates the misdemeanor to a felony and thus requires a response in kind. Yes, that's heavy, heavy construction glue that was used to glue the yard sign to the garage door. Congressman Adam Schiff - Dem CA CD29 D.C. Office: (202)225-4176 Pasadena Office: (626)304-2727 Campaign Office: (626)583-8581 Photo by Ron Robinson.Adam Schiff Is a Master at the Sleight of Hand That Fools No OnePhony "Town Hall" meetings and dirty money contributed by convicted union officials aside, we now get another glimpse of the real Adam Schiff and his 'service' to his country, along with the values he insists on conveying to his staff and volunteers..We see it in almost every campaign at one time or another. Until the candidate's senior staff leans hard on the junior staff and volunteers, yard signs of the opposition seem to grow legs and disappear by themselves. Completely innocently, of course.But two recent incidents in this genre suggest more sinister motives. While John Colbert's (Candidate for CD 29) campaign has been trying to work quietly with Schiff's campaign for weeks now to resolve the 'disappearing yard sign' mystery, suddenly the covert action escalates. In both instances, it took a decidedly unsavory turn.Usually, when yard signs disappear, they are simply lifted off the ground and removed. But it takes a 'special kind' of sinister to remove a sign by snipping the wires just beneath the sign, and leaving hard-to-spot wires protruding from the ground as a hazard to passing children. Yep, happened in Pasadena within blocks of the Rose Bowl.In the most recent incident, it went beyond a mere 'free speech' issue to a vandalism and property issue. In the yard of an 88-year-old Democrat, the sign was removed from the yard and thick industrial glue was used to glue the sign to the property owners' garage door. A senior, probably on a fixed income, will now have to pay several hundred dollars to repair her garage door and have it repainted.Of course, that's OK with the liberals - that's just progress on their 'social justice' agenda.Now those of us who were really paying attention knew exactly what to expect from Obama by watching his supporters. Those of us who value the safety of our children (and I am now a nut on that issue), who value free speech and who insist that our government honor our property rights have just the insight we need into Adam Schiff's real values and real motivations. His refusal to discipline his volunteer staff reveals his real values: win at any cost.Because Republican John Colbert's challenge is a very, very serious challenge this season. (I've been meaning to treat you to a great 'Meet John Colbert' diary entry, but this event overtook me. I promise that post real soon.)Adam Schiff: Get your volunteers under control! You are no man and you have no honor until you get this resolved with your volunteer staff. (aside: can't we just get Neil to bid him G'bye?)But the sleights of hand don't stop there - turns out there is good reason to assume that Schiff may have voted with his feet, and become a carpetbagger.It's really tough to fit a family of four into a 640 sq. ft. Burbank apartment, so we are assuming that Adam Schiff's real primary residence is his Maryland home. Alas, the fine residents of Burbank are deprived of a capable (and influential?) PTA member as Eve Schiff has elected to be a PTA mom at Bells Mill Elementary School in Bethesda rather than in Burbank. I'd support this with a Google link, however a properly worded Google search returns all her contact information right in the Google citation/preview. Guess he's educating his children in Bethesda, too? How's that for contempt for your own CD?Many of us are calling Schiff's office every day until he publicly denounces the vandals who are trying to 'help' his campaign.Congressman Adam Schiff - Dem CA CD29Washington D.C.

Obama's Re-Distributive Misery: Product of a Miserable Man

Posted by Ron Robinson on June 21, 2010 at 9:06pm
If I were to sum up President Obama's administration so far in only two words, I would call it 're-distributive misery'.

While listening to Kyl's story of Obama telling him that he would take no action to defend our borders until/unless Republicans help him pass comprehensive immigration reform in Congress, we learn that Labor Secretary Solis is inviting illegals to turn in employers who are not paying them enough. We already know here in LA that the Mexican consulate next to MacArthur Park is plastered with posters luring immigrants to apply for welfare and other benefits.

It's no surprise then that citizenship seems to mean less and less - especially to those who already possess it - and means still less to those who 'visit' us.

Meanwhile, the president's 'do nothing' Gulf policy & drilling moratorium throws tens of thousands more out of work while preparing final delivery of that 'energy prices will necessarily skyrocket' campaign promise. As if 10% unemployment was not bad enough! Well, add $5 gas to that by summer's end.

We discover ourselves in a position where we (and even many states) are nearly at war with our own government. Our Congress and administration regard the Constitution as a mere inconvenience and they pick and choose which laws are worthy of enforcement.

It's the closest thing to anarchy that you could still (with some amount of puzzlement) call a republic.

We see it in his thin-skinned avoidance of the press. We see it in endless 'teachable moments' Obama uses to pontificate to us of the Great Unwashed. We see it in the general arrogance, common among liberals, that no idea from outside the privileged circle deserves any consideration - and the many and manifest blind spots that produces.

Misery loves company, and Obama intends to have plenty of that.

It won't be enough to simply go vote in November. We must encourage others to go to the polls with us.

We should meet our neighbors, even the Democrats, and let them know that we'll be proud of them when they vote to save their country this fall. Get to know those folks. There's probably not much need to try to persuade them to change their liberal views, just be friendly and helpful with them. Let them know how you feel on some of the issues, and let them know you'll be pleased if they vote your way on an issue or candidate or two.

Few people will vote for their own continued misery.
